Eg.                                 Cherry Tree
  Eight years have passed
Since I placed my cherry seed in the grass.
“Must have a tree of my own, “I said,
And watered it once and went to bed
And forgot; but cherries have a way of growing,
Though no one’s caring very much or knowing.
And suddenly that summer near the end of May,
I found a tree had come to stay

It was very small, five months child,
Lost in the tall grass running wild.
Goats ate leaves, the grass cutter scythe
Split it apart and a monsoon blight
Shrivelled the slender stem……..Even so,
Next spring I watched three new shoots grow,
The young tree struggle, upward thrust
Its arms in a fresh fierce lust
